The 5-Day Master IP Catalog Build

Create the central database for your most valuable business assets: your songs.

This challenge guides you in creating a 'single source of truth' for your entire song catalog. This professional tool will empower you to manage your IP, track registrations, and operate like a CEO.

The plan, day by day

1. Day 1Create a spreadsheet with these columns: Title, Co-writers, Split %, PRO, IPI #, Pub Admin, ISWC, ISRC, Release Date.
2. Day 2Populate the catalog with at least ten of your songs. Fill in all the data you currently have. Leave blanks where information is missing.
3. Day 3 (AI Leverage)Prompt an AI: 'Give me a Google Sheets formula that will highlight any row where the 'Release Date' column is filled but the 'ISWC' column is blank.' Implement this.
4. Day 4Choose one song with missing data. Log into your PRO or distributor portal to find the missing information (e.g., IPI or ISWC) and update your catalog.
5. Day 5 (Emotional Resonance)Pick one fully documented song from your catalog. Listen to the song. Now, look at the completed data row. Acknowledge this row as the business manifestation of the song's creative and emotional value.
